Good tempo expected with Call To Courage, Speedy One and Jewels Statement rolling forward. BRING ME SAKI (5) is an ultra-consistent type for the Lee camp. Dug deep to pay his supporters last time over a similar trip at Grafton. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged and only needs to hold his form to be right there at the pointy end again. SPEEDY ONE (2) got too far back when resuming at Ipswich and never really got going. Has a perfect second-up record, so willing to forgive with that run under his belt. Watch for sharp improvement. TOO HOT TO TORQUE (15) couldn't quite live up to market expectations when resuming at Ballina but never stopped trying. Is sure to have come on from that but will need a smart steer from the wide alley. GAYLORD (4) was only beaten a neck by Bring Me Saki two back then turned in a solid effort last time when second at Grafton. Doesn't meet BMS as well at the weights this time but is still worth respecting. ODE TO BEAUTY (12) was a barnstorming winner last start and is another to consider, though is drawn poorly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bring Me Saki to win.
